Some of us here at TBF are women of color, and some of us are not. Regardless, anyone who’s spent a little time learning about the beauty industry knows that the make-up made for the masses is generally not geared towards the skin tones of women of color. The big brands have done better as of late—like Cover Girl’s Queen Collection -- and Kathryn, of course, has referred readers to brands like Black Opal (specifically for their great foundation) in the past, But we want to know your thoughts—what’s your favorite make-up brand/product for women of color, on a budget?

My vote for the best budget makeup for women of color goes to L’Oreal. L’Oreal is a little more expensive than other drugstore brands but the breadth and compatibility of foundation and color options is almost unmatched.
I like the Loreal Hip line as well because their colors have more pigmentation than other drugstore brands. I also like Mizani, who lipsticks are the best you find for under $4.
I have yet to find a concealer or foundation that works for traditional (i.e. yellow-toned, but not dark enough to be olive) Asian skin.
